This is awesome. Beats getting shots for my son who has autism. The sublingual is a nice size and takes forever to melt completely so my son takes it as long as he can and chews the rest. Been in for 2 weeks and has seen a slight difference in the clarity of his speech. Further, he has less space-outs we like to call them... GET THE WORD OUT!!! AUTISM is not a dead-end diagnosis! Knowledge is key when ur have a child on the spectrum. Go for biomedical treatments... Many therapies u can do yourself! DONT BELIEVE THE LIES! No flu shots/ vaccinations filled with crap!!! Do ur homework people! There r a millions different ways.... God bless!Added+ JAN.30.2014Methylcobalamin, an active coenzyme form of vitamin B-12, is essential for cell growth and replication. It is more concentrated than other forms of B-12 in the cerebrospinal fluid, where it can be used by the central nervous system. It donates methyl groups to the myelin sheath that insulates certain nerve fibers. It may also play a role in maintaining a healthy sleep-wake cycle, as well as normal nerve function. Mehtylcobalamin is best. It is already converted to bioavalaible form, so your body can use it immediately. Your body doesn't need to produce intrinsic factor to convert methylcobalamin, because it is already converted. You can take it sublingually or in nasal spray form, which is supposed to bettter absorbed. Methyl-mate is the product I have seen some folks giving their autistic children in nasal spray form.You don't have to worry about overdosing on this stuff. Cyanocobalamin has a known toxicity, but you cannot overdose on methylcobalamin. But you should get a good b complex supplement, as b12 works better with other b vitamins.The amount of methylcobalamin you take is actually quite small compared to what many others take. Look up info about it on bodybuilder forums, and autism forums, and als/ald forums. You will find amazing factors using this form of B-12. The prevailing theory on why Vitamin B12 may be effective in many neuromuscular and other conditions is that the METHYL (methylcobalamin) group acts to aid in detoxification and to improve cellular energy.Additionally, high-dose administration of Vitamin B12 has been validated to stimulate the activity of the body's TH1 suppressor T-Cells, which has been implicated as a problem in ASD individuals. Methyl-B12 is closely allied with the folic acid biochemical pathway. A precursor folic acid molecule must interact with the enzyme MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolic acid) to become 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, the molecule that donates its methyl group to B12 so it can become Methyl-B12. Unfortunately, many children with asd have a defect in this enzyme.B12 (cobalamin) is a vitamin "family" with five unique family members that each do different things: a) cyanocobalamin; b) hydroxycobalamin; c) adenosylcobalamin; d) glutathionylcobalamin; e) methylcobalamin. Out of the B12 family, only Methyl-B12 has the ability to activate the methionine/homocysteine biochemical pathway directly. It is this pathway that is responsible for the body's entire sulfur-based detoxification system. It is this pathway that is responsible for the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), the universal methyl donor. It is this pathway that is responsible for the formation of homocysteine, the "crossroads" molecule that is responsible either to reform methionine and SAMe or create cysteine, taurine, and glutathione. Glutathione is the body's primary intracellular antioxidant and is responsible for many detoxification reactions, most notably those that involve the binding and removal of mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, tin, antimony, and many other lesser-known heavy metals that also bind to glutathione's sulfur group.Methyl-B12 is closely allied with the folic acid biochemical pathway. A precursor folic acid molecule must interact with the enzyme MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolic acid) to become 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, the molecule that donates its methyl group to B12 so it can become Methyl-B12. Unfortunately, many children have a defect in this enzyme.Some believe the best source is from animal products such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy (which can in some studies cause inflammation in some more severe asd patients with deepened metobolic disfunctions). As a side note, no plant foods can be relied on as a sole source of vitamin B12. However, vegetarian safe is what I prefer for my son, due to the fact he can not tolerate any inflammation especially when we detox him. Methyl-B12 is a treatment, not a cure. However, many children using Methyl-B12 combined with other biomedical and non-biomedical therapies have lost their diagnosis! I look forward to the day when we hear autism is few in far in between. This "epidemic" is horrible! And we as ass parents-need to start questioning and digging deep to find paths for our children. We will not be around forever so its now that we have to fight for the betterment of

I take B vitamins all the time. I would always notice that I would have super deep yellow urine after I take them. And you know what that means? The vitamins are going straight through your body and are not being absorbed. I thought, as long as some of it is absorbed, then I am okay... So, I continued to take these B-vitamins from all sorts of brands that I would find at Target or CVS. Until one day, I was watching random videos on youtube on my phone and I accidentally clicked something and a video talking about B-Vitamins comes on. I was driving, so I just left it on as I listened. In this video, I learned that B-12 vitamins come in 3 forms. The most common form is cyanocobalamin, which most cheap B vitamins and multi-vitamins have. This is the form of B-12 that makes your piss turn deep yellow, because your body absorbs so little of it. Then they go on to explain that Methylcobalamin is the most effective form of B-12 that you can digest. This form actually is absorbed by your body. I forget what the 3rd form was.The price of Methylcobalamin B-12 is considerably higher that Cyancobalamin. But wouldn't you want to buy something that actually works? These chewable tabs are great and don't taste bad at all. It's like a less flavorable cherry sweet-tart. The great thing about them is your body actually absorbs it. Go ahead try it, it doesn't even have to be this brand. Just try methylcobalamin rather than a cyancobalamin, you'll see and notice the effects on your brain and body in 1-2 weeks. The easiest way to test if it works better, assuming the user stays properly hydrated, pay attention to the color of your urine.Please people research your supplements before you purchase them. Stop allowing these nutrition companies to earn a dollar with garbage supplements. They prey on consumers that don' take the time to educate themselves on the products they sell. In this world, there is a "minimum requirement" that must be met in order for the product qualify to be stocked on shelves. This "minimum requirement" is like getting a C- in college... It isn't failing. It's better than a D. It's average... but not quite average..If you are looking into supplements, you already have the intent to better your physical health, why not take a couple more hours and research the supplement in general. Every supplement has specific key factors that will make their quality better than those that barely meet the requirements. Once you find that out, it'll be easy for you to find a handful of companies that manufacture quality products. Those products are not going to be cheap, but you do pay for what you get. And what is a couple more bucks for a quality product that will help you with your performance or help with an ailment.

The delivery was an issue. Was a day late due to not being deliverable on the scheduled day. The reason stated was the driveway or mailbox was not able to be accessed. This is definitely not true. I arrived home around 6:45 and the attempt to deliver was supposedly 7pm there was no problem accessing my property or mailbox. Don't know why they had to lie about it not being delivered. The package did arrive the next day.Item tastes very good. Helps give more energy

Helps with energy, good tasting chewable tablets

As described. Great product
